1.3 is now on the app store - player sync works by drag and drop on the players menu - to unsync players tap the connection line that joins synced players together to break it.

Hi. I like your Zone-Player like syncing. Thought about doing it that way as well... A few things: How do I unsync a single player? Is that by clicking the line for that specific player? How do I see the whole current playlist, not just the upcoming songs? And a bug I noticed and that I'm relly happy to see - not to dis you because I think it's an iPhone issue and it has been haunting me during beta and I had to solve it with a workaround: If you press unsync all and then immediately start to drag a player (before the unsync is finished) the player will get lost in an off-line position and if you try to move it again, Squidgy crashes. The problem is that you must not call reloadData while an element is being dragged.

Re: [slim] Squidgy for iPhone now available in Apple App Store
Squidgy 1.3 has now been submitted to Apple and should hopefully be available in a few days. (1.2 was an internal test release in case you were wondering). New features include: Player sync Playlist support - view existing playlists and save the current playlist Improved compatability with NAS servers There is also a number of bugfixes mainly around connection / reconnection issues, database refresh and multiple albums with the same name. -- idowantapickle idowantapickle's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=16490 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=55073 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Squidgy for iPhone now available in Apple App Store
Well, just this afternoon I though, what the ..., let's get them all and selected Squidgy for download. I was told I couldn't because I need iPhone 2.1 software. The problem is that I don't have an iPhone, I have an iPod Touch. H Connected it to iTunes and after some wild clicking got that to check for updates and it told me it found a 2.2 update for my iPod. I thought that this might be good enough to fool the Appstore into thinking I have an iPhone 2.1 so I select go ahead. No go, my iTunes cant do it because it must be upgraded itself first!! Grmmppfff... Okay, let's do that. 30 minutes and a reboot later (music buffered was almost enough to span the reboot ;-) I started iTunes again and spend the next 5 minutes agreeing to obscure agreements with Apple. But after that... I got a nice upgraded iTunes that is apparently needed to download 2.2 from the Internet. The previous version was too stupid although it could download 2.0 just fine. I know they are lying to me but realize I probably need the new iTunes after installing 2.2 to be able to communicate with it. But I thought Apple stuck to their own standards? Apparently they let go of the idea of stability after switching to Intel CPU's and allowing Windhose on their kit. Anyway, after again wild clicking at random I got it to check for iPod updates again and this time it allowed me to start the download. At this time I notice that it had also managed to put a whole bunch of apps back onto my iPod which I had deleted from it before. Nice sync mode, very intelligent too. The download starts... 250 MBytes???!!! Over Panamanian Internet???!!! Well, at 6 pm I finally and to my surprise got it. I can even start upgrading the iPod. This process seemed to take as long as downloading it, after which it starts checking it before reboot... why not transfer into the iPod while downloading if it's gonna be checked anyway? But okay, at 6:12 pm I have it up and running and go to the app store again to try that Squidgy thingy again. Yes, I am now good enough for it and within a minute it's downloaded and installed. I start it and it detects SC okay! As I have disabled the Windhose firewall of course, I don't have to change it's settings and the squidgy starts downloading my database. It is still doing that by 6:30. I have less than 7k tracks. But at 6:40 pm I have it running and I must say I am very impressed by it. Nice, fast and easy to use. No problems so far.

Re: [slim] Squidgy for iPhone now available in Apple App Store
Looks like 1.1 is now on the app store. At the moment I would recommend uninstalling any previous version before the upgrade, especially if you had problems scanning in 1.0. Saying that, theres no reason why a straight update would cause problems if you have a full database on your device. This should hopefully fix problems a couple of people have had with large libraries and server authentication, as well as a few things people have requested over the last week.

Feedback on 1.1 Sorted the database load of larger libraries No so good : - Bug in handling albums of same name (Best of, Greatest Hits etc). Rather than play the selected album, creates a playlist by taking one track from all albums which have the same name - Albums, simply too slow ( 1 minute!) to create viewable menu. This is with about 3200 albums - Artists, name truncation with '...', should use smaller font for these entries - Artists, albums without dates are listed alphabetically, followed by dated albums in ascending date order! - Genres menus doesn't need A-Z structure on menu - Genres, for same reason one genre 'Classical' always returns zero entries. The other 27 Genres I have work fine. Go figure. - Genres, should have an option to order by album name rather than current order by artist name but display album title - Genres, building list slow for large number of albums in common genre (i.e. Rock) - Now playing, hardware buttons should be active to control volume Bottom line, 1.1 may be OK for peeps with up to a few hundred rock/pop albums. -- amcluesent amcluesent's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10286 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=55073 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Squidgy for iPhone now available in Apple App Store
I had a similar problem (with a library of 2200 albums or so) - Squidgy got through the 'albums' scan, but it would crash back to the home screen halfway through 'artists.' It finally occurred to me to reboot my iPhone (hold down the top button and bottom button simultaneously until the slider appears at the top of the screen, then restart). That did the trick - it scans everything now. I've encountered a similar problem with other apps, particularly games, so it may be an iPhone problem rather than a Squidgy problem. It's worth a try, anyway. Apart from those missing favorites and a few other issues, I'm very impressed with Squidgy, by the way. It really shines where playlist creation is concerned - I love being able to reorder songs quickly. Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be a way to _save_ new playlists, or access old ones.

Reading the thread it sounds like this is a limitation also of iPeng...maybe I should speed up getting that NAS.. 2. Found some quirks with the app, everytime I launch it is says the database is out of date and needs refreshed, despite not adding any new music - think others have found this. Following that I have found occasions where my collection is out of sync, the attached images show the 'New Music' section from the Main Menu, the top item should be 'The Stills' but is picking up another album, I also seem to lose the 'Artists' 'Genre's' entrys from the main menu from time to time.

Re: [slim] Squidgy for iPhone now available in Apple App Store
Hi, just thought I'd put my experiences here as it might be useful to others. For a first version, I'm quite impressed. Its fast which is good and fairly easy to navigate. The issues I have found are: I did have to add port 9090 as an exception to my windows firewall in order to get it to connect. Slimserver 7.2.1 doesn't add this port automatically when its installed, so I would guess this flaw lies with the slimserver software rather than the squidgy app? Each time I start the squidy app, it asks me to update my database even though nothing has changed. The squidgy app does NOT Wake On Lan the server which means I have to use the Duet Controller to turn it on, which is a bind. IMHO this needs to be fixed. This is especially the case when, for example I select Staff Picks-Classic FM, as after 30 mins my slimserver PC goes to sleephibernate, even though the radio stream keeps playing, as if I then want to switch to Itunes music, I have to find the controller to turn it back on. This might be new behaviour in 7.2.1 as I don't recollect it doing that before? kantblue -- kantblue kantblue's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=19236 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=55073 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Squidgy for iPhone now available in Apple App Store
I rated it 3 stars... Squidgy fills that empty hole for us iPhone (or iPod Touch) users that desire an integrated app to control their Squeezebox network music players (Classic, Boom, Duet, etc). As SONOS gets there offical release for free, we SB users have to rely upon 3rd party apps. That said, the tremendous amount of support and versatility really makes it exciting for us SB users - there are already 2 other apps in the works (iPeng and a yet-to-be named other). First impressions with Squidgy isn't too bad, although I tend to restart my phone before installing apps and then restart it again after installing before first run. I launched it at work first (as I bought it while I was there), so perhaps my experience is due to the fact that I first launched it on a network that wasn't my home. When I did get home and start it, I found that it had trouble initially scanning my SqueezeCenter library (1681 albums with 10045 songs by 1340 artists). I'm on Vista SP1 and SqueezeCenter 7.2.1 - 23630. I had to shut my phone down again and restart the app. Also, I noticed that when my phone goes into sleep mode it switches back to Edge, so Squidgy would crap out. My advice is to either plug your phone in while initializing Squidgy for the first time or turn off screen lock so it doesn't go to sleep. When all was said and done, it took about 10 minutes to scan my library. After that, it functioned as advertised. It's simple to navigate, though slightly convoluted. You can switch the background from black to standard iPhone white (though the default black is easier on the eyes IMHO). You can reorganize tracks on the playlist, delete tracks, and search via the iPhone's keyboard - a welcome relief for those of us who use the Controller or standard SB remotes. There are a few quirks. It's slightly buggy and crashes to the iPhone home page on occasion. Not frequent enough to be a deal-breaker, but it crashes nonetheless. Also, for some strange reason PLAYLISTS don't seem to show up as a selectable choice on the home page. WTF??? Rhapsody support works in the US, and so does Pandora - but regarding Pandora you CANNOT approve/reject songs on your stations. D'OH!!! Am I glad I bought it? Yeah, for $7.99 USD I suppose it could be a lot worse. Overall, a good first effort that will hopefully get better with subsequent support releases from EMCC Software Ltd. Especially since iPeng and the other-yet-to-be named app approaches release.

Re: [slim] Squidgy for iPhone now available in Apple App Store
Hi, Bought and installed this pm and initial impressions are v positive. The good 1) Found my server no problem 2) It's really quick - much better usability than skins 3) I actually think the navigation is pretty good - and i like the now playing functionality Needs work 1) If you have 2 squeezeboxes it defaults back to 1 all the time. I am running an 'upstairs' and a 'downstairs'. If I select downstairs it doesnt seem to remember that state. This means i have to keep going back to settings to change the player back to downstairs. 2) Get occasional crashes when i drill down into album details 3) Would be good to have a home button on all pages But a good start..looking forward to luke's and ipengs -- jamesm jamesm's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=21186 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=55073 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

No worries mate, thanks for your efforts. I think that you should also make approve/reject songs on Pandora a top priority as well, but yeah - playlist / favourites / music directory browsing are a definite must. Finally, it seems to want to rescan the library (claiming that it is out of date) when no changes have been made. Very annoying, because if I choose not to then it seems to lock up.

Re: [slim] Squidgy for iPhone now available in Apple App Store
1. Still don't understand why Logitech is not making an application just like Sonos did. I assume Sonos followed the tried and true economic formula of giving away the razor to sell a lot of razorblades, or to be more modern, heavily discounting an inkjet printer to sell more ink cartridges. I think Logitech would sell a lot more squeezeboxes and booms and receivers even if it might canabalize its controller sales. Sonos took the plunge, so should Logitech. And it would also be a lot of free advertising to millions of consumers who might never have heard of these products. And by adding a softsqueeze to this proposed app, consumers can try the whole experience before buying the hardware. 2. I look forward to the iPeng entry as that developer has contributed a lot to these forums. 3. I would like a clarification of the abilities of the new app which is the subject of this thread - squidgy. Does it interface with the Squeezenetwork or only SqueezeCenter? I don't use SqueezeCenter - I don't like my computer on if I am not actually using it for other tasks when I am listening to music. I rely solely on Squeezenetwork with Rhapsody and the other music services.

[slim] Squidgy for iPhone now available in Apple App Store
Hi folks, EMCC Software are pleased to announce the immediate availability of Squidgy for iPhone and iPod Touch from the Apple app store. Price is £4.99 - direct link is http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=296245115mt=8 Feature List: Automatic Server Detection Multiple player support Player controls - shuffle / repeat /sleep / volume / power Music library browsing Artwork display Landscape album view Search Playlist manipulation ( add , reorder, delete ) Internet Music services browsing Wikipedia integration Usage notes: On first startup use the detect server button in the settings screen to automatically configure Squidgy to use your SqueezeCenter. Squidgy scans your server and builds a local database of album titles, artist names and album thumbnails to allow speedy browsing of your music library. This scan can take a couple of minutes depending on the size of your library. Once the scan completes you can browse or search your library. The playlist lives on the back of the Now playing screen. To reorder the playlist just drag and drop items. You can delete one or more items from here too. Player controls live on the now playing screen too. Just tap the album art and they slide in from the top. Set your volume / shuffle / repeat preferences or turn off the current player. To hide the player controls again just tap outside the player control area. In album view rotate the phone left to see the album grid view. Scroll left to right, or pick an album to see the track list. Tap outside the album area to return to the grid view. Use the players option on the main menu to change your current player. Wikipedia takes you straight to the wikipedia page for the currently playing artist. You can also customise a few aspects of Squidgy. If you don't like the default white on grey you can change to more standard iphone colours in the settings menu. You can also configure the default behaviour when clicking on an album here.

I would say this, but touch and hold works really nicely. You just hold the row for a second and it will flash to indicate its been added.

Re: [slim] Squidgy for iPhone now available in Apple App Store
Ok, bought it and tried it. Just so you don't think I am posting as a bought fanboi or anything for the app or for some of the other apps competing: I am not. First impression. Easy to set up, with autosearch it finds the player and you are alive and kickin in a couple of minutes after the app has scanned your library. The interface works really quick and it is actually a Major difference compared to iPeng's web-interface. For me, this is The Major Thing for using a 3rd party remote like the iphone. I think this is the case for most of us out there longing for the iphone to be utilized as the best remote imaginable for the squeezebox. With this said, and expected from my side, I don't really like the Now playing interface. First of all i don't like that the controls and elapsed time is constantly there. My personal view is that the more similar you can make it to the Itunes interface, the more natural and user friendly it would be to use the app. My intuitive approach is trying to sweep the cover to left or right to get to different menues and trying to tap the screen to invoke/remove the control buttons etc. Now neither of this works, rather i have to push the playlist or tap the screen to get a rather not so useful menu as a pop-down. I also would like to be able to forward/rewind on the time-progress-bar for the song in the same way i can increase/decrease the volume by dragging the volume bar left/right. I would also like the multiplayer approach to be improved. As far as i understand this function is not available? I would like to check the squeezeboxes i want to see simultaneously controls for. (if i for example have 5 SB's i would like to be able to check/uncheck some of them to have control over the ones i choose simultaneously). Actually, when looking around i don't find any setting for synchronizing players at all, but i have only used the program for 15 mins now so don't take my points as some kind of 100% accurate judgement. This was my initial thoughts after short usage of the program. The more i think of it, the more two points pop up as the most important onces. Quick navigation and response, which this app is doing great so far. The other thing is quick and easy support for navigating/synchronizing multiple squeezeboxes. So far I don't see/understand how this is done in this app. -- danny041 danny041's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=20107 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=55073 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
